Theory: In MAG 181, Annabelle tells Martin “Don’t worry, Martin. We’ll meet again. Hopefully when you’re feeling a little bit more… open-minded.” This clearly means that when Jon and Martin finally make it to Hill Top Road, Annabelle will walk out and just shoot Martin. Or hit him over the head. The details aren’t important
this time around’s no different, i’ve played with chance like you. i’ve loved to toy with fate, but, oh, i didn’t have a clue—
THAT I WOULD LOSE! oh, i would LOSE! between my left and right, one day i’d have to choose! “you’re not like me, i’m not like you, i’m not who these things happen to!”
We should treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion - mandatory 48 hour waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he’s about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, and a mandatory invasive ultrasound procedure. Let’s close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, with people shouting at him that he’s a murderer, begging him not to buy a gun.
It make more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and healthcare, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds.
Image description: Fan art of Joseph falling backward (away from the viewer) down a metal-walled shaft. The bullet from his gun has been seemingly reduced to liquid light, powerless color, that casts shadows on Joseph as he reaches vainly upwards with his free hand. He is wearing a blue button-up shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes - his socks are red. End ID.
(i was in a fairly serious car accident a few months ago and literally in the split second after it happened the writer part of my brain lit up with jarringly inappropriate glee like “omg this situation is totally traumatic, meaning… if i survive i will get so much mileage for angsty fics out of this!! :D”)
